Huh, i wonder if that means that i can finally use VRR with my displayport to hdmi cable which connects a Rdna2 GPU with a LG CX tv.

TBH loosing VRR by switching to Linux was a way smaller QOL downgrade than i expected to be. It only really annoyed me on the first day apart from the very few games which suffer from really bad tearing without V-sync. I am still really annoyed that i had to buy an extra cable because of the HDMI Forum though. Like the drivers are written and done for years now but those assholes are just blocking it. Fuck them.

Some adapters already supported Freesync before these changes but of course the TV also requires Freesync support.

What features are still missing after this gets merged? Right now, I still use a glitchy adapter that randomly drops out every few minutes and sometimes crashes my whole Hyprland WM due to an unsteady state when no displays are recognised/connected.

I would love to use my GPU and display with the features I paid for.

One of the comments on the phoronix post mention display stream compression (DSC) and fixed rate link (FRL - specific to HDMI 2.1), both assist with high bandwidth throughput.
